I study the Japanese language, the Japanese culture and Japanese writing, since they fascinate me beyond reason.

Surprisingly enough, current studies are going quite smoothly. If I get to the university I want, I can take Japanese lessons there, so I'll keep on studying. [img]smile.gif[/img]
It's gonna take a long time 'til I really will be able to speak the language fluently. I love it though. Truthfully, I think that the Estonian language is actually closer to Japanese than it is to English.
Then I have Estonian.
Then I have English. I leart English for obvious reasons and I got most of it from TV. It's being studied from grades 2 or 3 to 12.
Then I have Russian. Russian is also a compulsory language in Estonia. People study it from grades 5 to 12.
Then I will be able to study either German or French in the tenth grade. I still haven't decided which one to choose - French fascinates me more but I hear German is a lot easier. I think I'll take French though, since the more you like a language, the more keen you are on studying it.
EDIT: Just so you'd know, once everything's done in Estonia, I plan on going to Japan to study.
